    I can't wait to go on my cruise in 2024. My wife and I celebrated 30 years of marriage this past May and this trip is our gift to us. Our excursion that we plan to do while in Ketchiakn will be on the Deadliest Catch. Im a Professional photographer so Im hoping to see plenty of Eagles and Bears.

    Is rocky the minor in question? Also, the historical museum used to be the old library. I spent many hours down stairs in the back watching the small KC waterfall. It was one of the most peaceful places I can think of.

    I did 4 salmon seasons in the fishing industry there years ago. Got to see some of the darker sides of people being stuck in that place. While there are good people there, the town empties out a lot in the fall and winter time to a gloomy environment. A lot of drinking to pass the time. You'll notice that there is a bar on every block if not several. Beautiful place to visit in the summer time.

      Also worked salmon runs and other seasons in Alaska. Most towns are like this but to the tourists it’s all sunshine and rainbows

    Ketchikan was great on our 8/28 cruise. But, we do not recommend the duck tour. It was just boring.
    The salmon run was amazing. Wanted to have a King crab leg but at $130 per leg, we skipped it.

    Thanks for the information. I'm really surprised that you made no mention of hiking in the rainforest. I guess it was not promoting a business so wasn't worth it idk.
